Chapter 618 Refining the Fire Source Divine Jade, Mastering the Secret Power of the Celestial Fire

After finalizing the shares of the underground fire vein, Eldrin did not linger in the Blazing Prison Sea of Flames. That very day, he activated the Scarlet Flood Dragon Treasure Ship and set off toward Ji Province.

On the treasure ship, Eldrin caressed the Fire Source Divine Jade with uncontainable delight, his heart stirring with excitement.

Lyra, standing nearby, smiled faintly and said, "With this artifact in hand, given your comprehension that rivals even the Pure Yang Dao Lord, your chances of mastering the flame arcane force are far from insignificant."

"Mm." Eldrin nodded, taking her hand as he said, "This Primordial Fire Jade gives birth to a new piece every 1000 years. The next 1 will mature in just over 2 100 years. By then, my lady will surely have mastered the 5 elemental secret forces."

"No need to rush." Lyra shook her head before continuing, "Let's wait until I can permanently maintain the state of Celestial Resonance."

Hearing her words, a subtle shift stirred within Eldrin’s heart, and a trace of solemnity flickered through his eyes.

Back then, the reason he could enter the state of Heaven-Man Resonance was not only due to the foundation of his Great Luo Nascent Soul, but also because he had slain the Second Ancestor of the Qin Clan, which cleared his mental obstructions and allowed him to step into that realm.

Yet for Lyra to enter the state of Heaven-Man Resonance, she must first resolve the karmic ties of the Liu Clan from Moluo Island.

However, the Liu Clan was situated in the most perilous Demonic Sea of the Eastern Ocean. Given their current strength, they still had no confidence in seeking revenge.

At that thought, Eldrin declared, "Once this calamity of the Demon Abyss is over, we shall join forces to eradicate the Liu clan."

"Good."

Seeing that he still remembered the matter, Lyra (Person Name) smiled faintly and gave a calm nod.

The Crimson Drake Treasure Ship pressed onward, swiftly arriving at Spirit Isle Lake (Location).

Returning to his cave abode, Eldrin did not immediately refine the Fire Source Divine Jade. Instead, he ignited the alchemical furnace to begin concocting the Nascent Soul Formation Pill.

This time, he had obtained 3 Fiend Demon Nascent Souls. After Eldrin consecutively activated 3 alchemy furnaces, he successfully refined 11 Nascent Soul Formation Pills, finally fully assimilating the gains from this journey.

Eldrin kept 4 of these 11 Nascent Soul Formation Pills (Spiritual Object), sent 3 to the Tianlu Sect, and Yan Ziji received 1 as her share.

The remaining 3 were all given to Lingxu (Person Name), solely because she had provided the crucial Serene Heart Elixir to purify the demonic energy within that Nascent Soul.

After successfully refining the Nascent Soul Formation Pill (Spiritual Object), Eldrin (Person Name) returned to the tranquil rhythm of his former days.

Lyra and Lila both entered the Nirvana Pool to heal their wounds, while Eldrin stood guard nearby, simultaneously refining the Fire Source Divine Jade.

Another 20 years passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Eldrin sat cross-legged within the Nirvana Pool, his entire body radiating a hazy crimson glow.

And now, within him, the 5-colored Nascent Soul was embracing a resplendent divine jade, continuously comprehending the profound Dao patterns within.

He was refining that Fire Source Divine Jade, a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, yet mastering it was no easy feat.

Eldrin had spent 20 years refining the Fire Source Divine Jade, yet he had only managed to assimilate less than half of it. To fully refine it would likely require several more decades.

However, on this very day, Eldrin suddenly felt a profound insight, gaining an increasingly deeper understanding of the Dao patterns within the Fire Source Divine Jade.

Unknowingly, his spiritual power grew increasingly refined, and his comprehension of the fire-attribute mana deepened profoundly.

"So that's how it is."

Suddenly, Eldrin (Person Name) opened his eyes, revealing a look of ecstasy.

At this very moment, he suddenly gained a completely new understanding of the secret power of flames, and an indescribable insight surged within his heart.

In that instant, the spiritual power within him underwent sublimation. The fire-attribute energy cultivated through the Solar Blaze Scripture suddenly began an astonishing metamorphosis.

A dazzling golden flame erupted from within Eldrin, enveloping his physical form with its power to incinerate all things.

"This is..."

Lila, who was standing nearby, was also startled, her face filled with astonishment as she looked over.

Lyra's beautiful eyes also flickered with excitement as she exclaimed in ecstasy, "It's the Secret Power of Celestial Flames!"

Hearing her words, Lila finally understood the astonishing nature of Eldrin's magical power.

Cultivators with multiple spiritual roots can rely on their profound foundation to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. However, those with a single spiritual root possess comparatively thinner spiritual power and weaker Natal Spirit Treasures, making the path to Nascent Soul far more arduous.

However, the Great Dao numbers 3 1000 paths, and each can lead to enlightenment. A single-spiritual-root cultivator is not necessarily walking a path of no return.

For them, the best way to break through to the Nascent Soul realm was to master the advanced power inherent in their own spiritual energy.

For instance, cultivators with an Ice Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) can comprehend the legendary power of Mystical Ice, while those with a Metal Spiritual Root can master the legendary secret force of Geng Metal.

Cultivators with a fire spiritual root can sublimate their own mana, ascending to a more powerful and profound advanced force.

And at the apex of the fire attribute, legends speak of several paths that lead directly to the Great Dao.

The available paths were the Pure Yang Celestial Flame, the Netherworld Soul Flame, the Southern Brightness Departing Flame, the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, the Samadhi True Flame, the Nirvana Flame, the Solar True Flame, and so forth.

Mastering any 1 of these flames would increase 1's chances of attaining immortality by over 30 percent.

For these flames contained the Great Dao, themselves being manifestations of the Dao. Even merely grasping the fundamentals meant reaching the legendary realm of immortal Dao principles.

Like the Southern Bright Li Fire, it is the innate true flame of the Vermilion Bird, a celestial avian of the immortal realm. This fire consumes all things, so potent that even immortals dare not touch it.

Another example is the Nether Soulfire, a supreme flame that only Ghost Immortal Overlords of the 9 Nether Underworld can master, capable of suppressing the living souls of countless beings.

The Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame, Nirvana's Fire, and Solar Primordial Fire—all need no further elaboration. Mastering even the foundational principles of any 1 of these would suffice to ascend as a Ninth Heaven Immortal wielding dominion over the laws of flame.

Eldrin was comprehending the secret power of celestial fire, a force that served as the precursor to the Pure Yang Celestial Fire. By cultivating it to its ultimate limit, 1 could attain enlightenment of the Pure Yang Celestial Fire.

The Pure Yang Celestial Flame was the ultimate yang fire of heaven and earth, the essence of the primordial pure yang energy, and the bane of all demonic evils.

This supreme flame, once fully cultivated to its ultimate stage, could condense into the Great Dao of Pure Yang, elevating 1 to the exalted status of a Da Luo Immortal Lord—a truly paramount figure revered across the entire celestial realm.

Alas, such Primal Trueflame was far from easily cultivated. Throughout the entire immortal realm, those who could attain Great Perfection Golden Immortality through this Great Path could likely be counted on 1 hand—each a sovereign of celestial courts, beings of imperial majesty.

"Hoo—"

Eldrin took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, and withdrew the celestial flames enveloping his form.

He condensed a sphere of Celestial Fire mana and observed it carefully for a moment before declaring, "With this Celestial Fire mana, my power has been refined by a full 50 percent."

"Moreover, this flame possesses immense potency against evil spirits. From now on, even late-stage Nascent Soul demonic cultivators may not be my match."

At this point, Eldrin revealed a faint smile.

This time, he had actually comprehended 3 esoteric forces: Celestial Fire, Li Fire, and Solar Fire.

Cultivating the Li Fire Secret Force to its ultimate stage allows 1 to glimpse the Grand Dao of Southern Brightness Li Fire. The Vermilion Bird Clan, which commands this Great Dao, also boasts mighty Immortal Lords of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

Chapter 1: The Reborn Eldrin The sky above the 9 Heavens Continent was torn asunder by a blinding streak of lightning. Countless tribulation clouds converged, swirling like a vortex of destruction. At the center stood Eldrin, his white robes stained crimson with blood, yet his eyes burned with the unwavering determination of 1 who had cultivated for 3 1000 years. "So this is the fabled Heavenly Tribulation..." he murmured, watching as the 90-ninth divine thunderbolt gathered above him. Just as the cataclysmic energy was about to descend, a mysterious spatial rift swallowed him whole. When consciousness returned, Eldrin found himself in a dilapidated temple. The air reeked of damp earth and decay. Through the fragmented memories of his new host, he learned this was the Azure Cloud Sect's outer disciple—a youth sharing his name, recently killed in a petty dispute over spirit stones. "A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator..." Eldrin chuckled wryly, inspecting the frail body. His divine sense detected the youth's spiritual roots—barely adequate, yet strangely compatible with his own soul. Suddenly, footsteps echoed outside the temple. 3 figures clad in grey robes approached, their leader sneering, "Still alive, trash? Hand over those 3 spirit stones Elder Wang gave you!" Eldrin's eyes narrowed. These were the very disciples who had murdered his host. He attempted to summon his cultivation, only to find his meridians nearly destroyed. But the combat instincts of a peak expert remained. "Come and take them," he said calmly. The lead disciple lunged, fist glowing with crude spiritual energy. Eldrin sidestepped effortlessly, his fingers tracing an arcane seal. Though without cultivation, his movements contained the profound essence of the Heavenly Dao. Crack! The attacker's arm snapped like dry twig. Before the others could react, Eldrin had already seized the spirit stones from their belts—exactly 12, glittering with faint energy. "Scram," he commanded, his voice barely a whisper yet carrying the weight of millennia. As the terrified disciples fled, Eldrin examined his spoils. "With these, I can at least form the Primordial Chaos Art. This realm calls it the Qi Refining stage? How... quaint." He sat cross-legged, the spirit stones arranged in a trigram formation around him. The ancient cultivation art he'd created in his previous life began circulating, drawing upon the meager spiritual energy of this lower realm. Hours passed. When Eldrin opened his eyes again, moonlight streamed through the temple's broken roof. His body now brimmed with power—he had reached the third level of Qi Refining in 1 session. "A good start," he mused, gazing at the starry sky. "The 9 Heavens Continent awaits its true sovereign. And this time, I will surpass even my former self." Somewhere in the celestial realms, an ancient existence stirred from slumber. "The 1 who defied heaven has returned..." it whispered, before fading back into eternal watchfulness.
